As the largest presenting sponsor in the Gala’s history, the donation builds on McKim’s legacy of transformational giving.

The $5.3 million donation will help expand and support South Shore Hospital’s Emergency Department, emergency services, and programs.

Nominated by South Shore Health, the community-minded philanthropist is recognized for his significant contributions to the independent regional healthcare system.

The new unit, located on the first floor near the hospital’s Main Entrance, doubles short-stay capacity from 10 to 20 beds.

This prestigious recognition highlights South Shore Hospital’s commitment to delivering high-quality, advanced care with kindness and compassion to patients across the South Shore.

Generosity took center stage at South Shore Health’s 2025 Gala, where a record-breaking $1.2 million was raised to support lifesaving Emergency Services.

Effective Monday, July 25, the Outpatient Lab inside the McKim Family Main Entrance will be open reduced hours.

Rose DiPietro, interim President and CEO of South Shore Health and Todd Ellerin, MD, Director of Infectious Disease discuss the steps South Shore Health is taking to prepare for COVID-19 with the Patriot Ledger.
